Tula Pink City Sampler Quilt Top Complete!

The top is assembled!  With all the beautiful Tula City Sampler blocks appearing on Instagram daily, I decided it was time to woman-up and assemble MY beautiful blocks into a quilt top.  In case you want to see each one, here are the previous blog posts starting in February 2014 (!!):


Yes, it really was time to move this project forward!  I fell in love with Tula's fabric making these blocks.  Selecting the right setting was critical and I decided to go with one right from the book.  It was very slow going with lots of pieces and pinning but I couldn't be happier.





It was a lovely autumn day for quilt photographs.

I played with the block placement for a very long time!  The blocks lived on my design wall for months.  As noted in the blog posts, I built the blocks without a specific color plan in mind.  Each block was lovingly constructed as I allowed her artwork to inspire the fabric choices.  This meant a layout with a defined color scheme was not going to happen.

Next I have to baste this very large quilt! Then onto quilting! Just think how many pictures will be in the post when I finish this quilt! Apologies in advance!

  14. Congrats on finishing this beautiful quilt top. I really like the setting you ended up choosing. Your pictures show it off so well. Is that your black stand? I have been thinking about getting one.

  15. Very pretty! The setting is great. I like how it gives each block the ability to be enjoyed on it's own as well as part of the top. Nice work!

  16. This turned out amazing! I love the setting even if it was a pain. It's going to be amazing once it's finished. P.S. I would have done anything to sit in that hammock on the water looking at your quilt all day :)
